River was really great even before this split, so I'm very excited to see what happens in the space in the future. I switched to Niri while waiting for it to happen, and I'll probably switch back at some point.

If you were an Xmonad user I feel pretty confident in saying River is the Wayland WM for you.

I'm still on Xmonad mainly because I've only tried hyprland and it couldn't handle the master/slave stack the way xmonad does. On River, when I create a new window will it be inserted above the current selected window even if the current window is the master?

Also, when it was split up what did he call his window manager? Looks like the River repo is just for his display server/compositor
